Dated December 3, 1998, this introduction covers 48 pages (vii-lv) of Tome I of my Ecritsrévisionnistes, of which seven volumes have appeared thus far, with an eighth, and perhaps more, to come *. Below, first in Italian, then in English, is how this introduction is presented today by the tenor Joe Fallisi under the heading “Aglialtri è inutile rivolgersi” (It’s pointless to address oneself to the others):

Robert Faurisson’s Introduction to his “Revisionist Writings”, which can now be read online in full in Italian translation, is, in my view, an exceptional piece.

In it shine all the best qualities of the heroic French scholar: beautiful and precise language, crystalline pen, ability to go straight to the essential, equanimity, humanity, absence of bitterness (and of rhetoric) and, with that, an implacable, truthful eye.

This text is much more than a simple “Introduction”: it is a splendid overall essay in which the reasons (the reason) of a life of battles and attacks (of all kinds) endured, of courageous, unhesitating struggle for historical justice are offered to the reader who is still possessed of good faith. It’s pointless to address oneself to the others. “That the ignoble should be governed by the wicked – is just” (Plotinus).

* Jean Plantin (Editions Akribeia, 45/3, Route de Vourles, F-69230 Saint-Genis-Laval) reports that, unhappily, his stock of thefirst four volumes is exhausted; as for volumes V, VI and VII, they are available for €30 each (for delivery charges simply consultwww.akribeia.fr). Today, like any good publisher, the heroic J. Plantin deserves our support. I myselfreceive nothing from the sale of my writings. As for my “Introduction”, it can be read in English athttp://robertfaurisson.blogspot.com/1998/12/introduction-to-ecrits-revisionnistes.html.
